Pyron/Boeing/Spectrolab Solar Electric Generator
From an article in Earthtoys - Emagazine
Unlike other solar systems that you design and then custom install, the Pyron electric generator is a fully self-contained unit. It uses fresnel lenses to concentrate the sunlight and the world’s most powerful photovoltaic cells developed by Boeing Spectrolab.Their first prototype, which is 23 feet in diameter and 16 inches high, produces an astonishing 6.5 KW of electricity. That’s enough to power 6 average homes. A comparable photovoltaic panel roof system would take ten times as much space.
The 6.5 KW Pyron generator will be priced at around $13,000 - $15,000.
